SWORDFISH WWW
Who - The SWORDFISH can be ridden by surfers from all ranges of experience but is best suited for intermediate to advanced surfers. This board is best for someone who wants to put a fun fishy twist on their performance surfing. Intermediate and Advanced surfers will find the SWORDFISH to be a refreshing twist on the RNF Retro with more of an aggressive performance design. The fish outline allows this board to be ridden in a cruisey or aggressive performance style so fans of both fish designs and performance shortboards will have a blast on this design.
When - The SWORDFISH can be ridden in subpar to excellent conditions. This model favors waves ranging from waist high to a foot overhead. That is where the characteristics of this board really shine. The right surfer can also take this board in steep surf and reap the benefits of the SWORDFISH’s sheer speed. Due to the pulled in shortboard nose and more performance outline it may need a little bit more of powerful wave than it’s counterpart the RNF Retro but still will shine in the conditions most surfers see around their local breaks.
What - The SWORDFISH was designed at the request of (and direction from) Kolohe Andino. This board was built as an extension of his favorite RNF-Retro. The SWORDFISH is a fish with a lot of the benefits you see in a performance shortboard. The SWORDFISH wants to go fast and be engaged in the wave face. The wide, rounded nose of the RNF Retro has been replaced with a longer more narrowed shortboard nose with a bit more rocker. In steeper surf, the increased rocker in the nose will keep you from pearling as well. The entire outline of the RNF Retro has also been narrowed and the tail pulled in just slightly. This will allow for better in the pocket performance surfing. With a five-fin setup as your option, you can get really creative with the SWORDFISH. This board, just like the RNF Retro, is all about fun with ability to perform at a top tier level as well. The board was designed to have more power, be a bit stiffer, more aggressive, and even faster than the original RNF Retro.
